Dave, could you please describe you test set?
I've posted some results months ago and they were kind different.
I have done some tests [1] [2] with bind and queryperf and my result on
FreeBSD 6.1 was very poor if compared with 4.11.
Besides this, I have had bad results with NSD + 6.1 too and it doesn't use
threads. Because of that I realized that there is something strange with UDP
traffic on 6.1, as it was discussed in the threads below.
FYI: In response to feedback from ISC, there are UDP transmit optimizations in
FreeBSD 7.x. These have a relatively minor performance impact for
single-threaded applications, but in the special case of BIND accessing a
single UDP socket from many different threads, it significantly improves
performance. I'll look at MFC'ing these to 6.x after 6.2-RELEASE (especially
if reminded in a month or so :-).
With regard to the possible bge issue -- I would encourage you to test using a
7.x kernel, ideally with all the debugging disabled, and see if there's been
any improvement (or regression). There has been a lot of change in these
areas, and it would be helpful to know what, if any, impact this has had.
